Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- The St. Scholastica baseball team learned Monday it will make its fourth straight appearance in Whitewater, Wis. for the NCAA Division III regional tournament, that as the official 56-team bracket was announced.

The sixth-seeded Saints will play top-seeded St. Thomas in the first game of the regional tournament, with that contest scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on May 15 at Prucha Field.

The Saints' regional contains six teams and is a double-elimination format, with the winner advancing to the NCAA tournament in Appleton, Wis.
